    Please Advise: What 120/128GB SSD should I get locally?

    So one of my 7200.11 drives finally died that housed my Hyper-V VM's. I've been meaning to change my server boot/VM drives to a single SSD and this is what I get for procrastination, especially knowing I have 7200.11's and they're not in RAID 1 :rolleyes: . Luckily I have a recent backup...

    SSD with encryption

    Samsung offers SSDs with Hardware-based Full Disk Encryption (FDE), you can buy them as an option on Dell Latitude notebooks. I have some Seagate FDE.2 notebook drives that I'm experimenting with. Regardless of what some claim, machines with software encryption do take a noticeable performance...

    I think I'm going to give the 2TB Hitachi drives a shot...especially after reading some positive things about them in the owners thread: 2TB Hitachi Owner's Thread

    Advanced Format (4k) drives and RAID? Any gotchas?

    So I have an Adaptec 51245 controller in a machine running Server 2008 (not R2). Any anticipated problems using the new Western Digital Advanced Format "EARS"-model drives in a RAID array? Thanks!

    why are the only cases i like over $200 ??? HELP !

    I was frustrated by the same thing. I bit the bullet and bought a Lian-Li PC-A20B in the end and I'm glad I did. Was it really worth $360? Probably not. Am I happy I'm done worrying about what case to buy and am I satisfied with what I got? Yeah, pretty much. It's the nicest case...

    Which Lian-Li Case

    I just got the PC-A20B and it's awesome, plenty of space for drives, lots of fans, quiet, monolithic and ready for eATX!

    My luck ran out . . .

    If it makes you feel any better, EVERY single Western Digital drive I have ever had has died on me. I have tried them since the 200MB days. I've had one or multiples of these sizes over the years since I was a kid: 200MB, 540MB, 1.2GB, 6.4GB, 20GB, 40GB, 60GB, 120GB and the last one I bought...

    Change fan in 5-bay 3051B SATA RAID backplane? Has anyone done it?

    Hey guys, I know a few of you have this RAID enclosure: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817995001 It's the Athena Power BP-SATA3051B SATA RAID backplane. I have had one for over a year and the fan sounds pretty haggard and dying right now and I'd like to swap it out...

    Q6600 or E8400 for Server 2008 maybe Hyper-V

    I think that's what I'm going to do. I've been looking at the power req. differences and since this is going to be on 24x7 I think I'm going to save some $ on my electricity bill too and go with the e8400.

    Q6600 or E8400 for Server 2008 maybe Hyper-V

    So I bought an E7200 and tried to install the Hyper-V role on my Server 2008 box and lo and behold, the E7200 doesn't have hardware-assisted virtualization, I thought they all did these days, stupid me! So, I'm returning the E7200 and was considering either an E8400 or a Q6600. I like the...

    Should I dump my 3Ware 9500S-8 for ICH10R in RAID 5?

    I just have some old 300GB Maxtors, forget the model. They're a couple years old at least, but work fine. I was going to upgrade to some 750GB drives with the deals going on lately but after I spent a few hours cleaning up all my crap, I realized I don't need more space just yet.

    Should I dump my 3Ware 9500S-8 for ICH10R in RAID 5?

    I currently have a 5-drive RAID5 array running with a 3Ware 9500S-8 PCI card on home server. It's currently in an Athlon XP 2600+ system. I'm planning on upgrading my home server soon to run Server2K8 x64 and was going to go Intel-based (E7200 or E8400 possibly) and was looking at...

    Airport Express Friendly router besides WRT54g

    Do you HAVE to use the Airport Express in repeater mode? If you configure it to be a client on the network (where you can use AirTunes) you can use it with pretty much any router. I am using it on a Netgear router right now in client mode and it works great, I can use AirTunes and the USB port...

    Just got a Dell 2405 - think I've been conned?

    I just went though two 2405FPW's - the 3rd was finally the charm! The first one had 9 dead pixels. The second had something caught in between the LCD and backlight. The third was perfect, so I'm happy....at least until it starts making a whine, haha.
